dexter fowler, that was cool. that's it for us. we hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday. we'll see you right back here tomorrow. "special report" up next. this is a fox news alert. i'm doug mckelway in for bret baier. it had been 275 days since hillary clinton held a press conference. she is finally taking questions from media members traveling with her. this is a taped feed of that report. let's listen up. >> so the fact that our intelligence services are now viewing russian activity as a potential threat against our electoral system raises further questions about trump and i think those are questions the

american people should be asking and answering. >> madame secretary -- [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] >> no, not at all, andrea. i went into the state department understanding classification. i've been on the senate armed services committee for years before i was secretary of state. i take classification seriously. in fact, i couldn't remember certain meetings, whether or not they had occurred, but that doesn't in any way affect the commitment that i had and still have to the treatment of classified material.

>> in the back to jennifer. [ inaudible question ] [ inaudible ] >> i don't know anything about that. that was not something that i was aware of, and i think that the facts point out that there was no connection. it wasn't something that, as far as i understand, was related.

with respect to the first question, i am not comfortable with using the word "war." i don't want to use that. i think that's the kind of loose talk that we've had too much of in this campaign. i do view it as a threat from an adversarial foreign power. and i do believe that putin and the team around him certainly believe that there is some benefit to them for doing this. and tim kaine said yesterday, this is like watergate. only now it's cyber time. breaking into the democratic national committee, either physically or into electronic files, to withdraw information to be used for political purposes, it is stunning that we are facing this, and especially from a foreign power that has

the capacity, which the consensus is, they have used to extract information and to enable that information to be made public. this goes into, as i was saying to ken earlier, it is a broader discussion about cyber. we had some very tough conversations about cyber when i was secretary of state. i know those conversations have continued. i know that the president raises them in every meeting that he has. i think it's fair to say that, as we saw from both democratic and republican presidents during the cold war, we do keep talking to our adversaries. when i was secretary of state, we negotiated a new treaty to reduce nuclear weapons, and introduce the most invasive

surveillance system we've ever had with respect to the russians. so i think we have to continue to look for ways that we can work with putin. but to make it very clear to him, that we are not going to tolerate the kinds of behavior that russian intelligence has engaged in, and that my opponent has applauded. >> go to dan right here. >> hey, dan. [ inaudible question ] you >> well, it's been a goal from president obama from the very beginning of his administration, and it should remain the goal of the next president. guantanamo bay, as i say we all

recognize, became a symbol of a lot of the problems that were started under the bush administration and which have not served us as well in terms of relations around the world. so i would like to see it closed. there are, as you know, legislative blockades, problems with that. but we should keep trying to close it. what? [ inaudible ] >> let's wait and see what the president is able to accomplish. [ inaudible question ]

>> yeah. the first question is about the russians, and do i think they're trying to help trump? are they, right? i often quote a great saying that i learned from living in arkansas a lot of years. if you find a turtle on a bed post, it didn't get there by accident. i think it's quite intriguing that this activity has happened around the time trump became the nominee. and look, he, very early on, allied himself with putin's policies. i mean, to pull out of nato, for goodness sakes, right? and he furthermore has praised putin. he seems to have this bizarre attraction to dictators, including putin. he won't tell us where he owes $650 million. there's a lot of rumors about that.

and he has, you know, made it clear that he doesn't particularly care whether putin and the intelligence services attack american institutions. do you have some water? [ coughing ] i'll be right with you. >> that was hillary clinton, her press conference there aboard her new campaign plane, interrupted by the second coughing fit she's had today. this press conference, the first in 275 days, brought to you by the fact that she does have a new campaign plane, on which the embedded reporters, who have been covering her for two years now, have access to her and she accommodated that by coming back to their section of the plane and answering some questions. more on that with the panel later in this program. labor day, of course, is the

unofficial start of the presidential campaign season. so it is fitting that both nominees were hard at work today, trying to gain support in a blue collar state that both campaigns feel is absolutely crucial to victory. hillary clinton was in ohio early today. peter doocy is with the trump team where he spoke with the republican candidate. >> reporter: the big draw at the biggest county fair in ohio, donald trump and mike pence. >> i think it's incredible. they've never seen one like this. >> reporter: walking past carnival rides and vendors, the businessman and the governor made their way to the gop booth, where local officials have been working to spread the word to the tune of 260,000 people who have visited this fair so far this week. here in ohio, what is going to be the biggest challenge for you? >> i don't know. we're up three or four points in ohio. it just came out. you see the crowds. i love ohio. we're going to bring jobs back, peter. >> reporter: the economy was the big focus here in canfield, and

in cleveland this morning, where trump blamed problems in the country on president obama, but problems in this swing state on local leaders. >> it's been abused, like every state. every state has been abused by incompetent leadership. >> reporter: immigration is trump's other signature issue, and he's seeking to clarify his issue what he wants to do with illegal immigrants who are criminals. >> to become a citizen, you're going to have to go out and come back in through the process. you're going to have to get in line. you have to go out and get in line and come back in. >> reporter: the buckeye state is unique, because kellyann conway sees trump getting a lot of support from democrats. >> we know there are a lot of

crossover voters. we saw that in the primary where a number of democratic and independent voters crossed over to support him. >> reporter: another day to reach democrats and independents, three debates with hillary clinton. and today, trump told us how he's getting ready. >> i think i'm preparing like i did for the other debates. i enjoyed the debating process. i did -- obviously i did well in the debates. >> reporter: a sign that ohio is critical for the trump team, the nominee and mike pence were together at all stops today. and before leaving the state, pence gave us his version of the republican's closing argument. >> the american people know we can do better than 1% economy. they know that donald trump has a vision to get this economy moving again with lower taxes,

repealing obamacare, smarter and tougher trade deals. you see this crowd that's coming out, because donald trump is going to make america great again. >> reporter: trump, of course, also talked a lot about building a wall. here in canfield, ohio, his supporters built one. but they didn't make mexico pay for it. instead asking fairgoers to pay $5 for a brick with their name on it, money to help republicans in local races in ohio get elected. doug? >> thank you, peter. president barack obama is in laos tonight. correspondent kevin corke reports tonight from there. >> the complicated challenges of the 21st century cannot be met without coordinated and collective action. >> reporter: sounding like a man with just few months left on the job, president obama used his final summation at the g-20 summit to reflect on addressing

global challenges on the world stage. wh by 2016, there was a host of diplomatic fissures, and the bloody civil war in syria, which many fear has evolved into a de facto proxy war between the u.s. and russia. the gathering was supposed to induce a blunt exchange about the kremlin's induring into ukraine. sangions against moscow, and a pathway forward in syria. a conversation that took on a new sense of urgency. what was abundantly clear, the president failed to persuade t putin to do much of anything.

>> we haven't closed the gaps in a way where we think it would actually work. >> reporter: perhaps even more troubling was the president's inability to smooth over tensions with turkey, a critical nato ally, but at odds with washington for ramping up its fight against kurdish forces in syria and its insistence that the u.s. hand over a turkish cleric that ankara blamed for the coup attempt. this as washington officials lamented the vexing variety of diplomatic and strategic mass born by the chinese. beijing playing the good global citizen, while fraying serves in the region because of its unlawful territorial grab in the south china sea. wet and warm weather greeted the president as he made his way here. not only the first sitting president to come here, but also the first to directly address the people of laos. he'll talk not just about the

need for improved economic ties but unexploded ordnance, which has been a problem since the vietnam war. doug? >> kevin corke traveling with the president. thank you, kevin. north korea made a splash of its own during the asian summit. the communist regime three more missiles into the ocean near japan, and its latest display of petulance. benjamin hall has that story. >> reporter: kim jong-un is at it again. today he successfully test fired three medium range missiles, sending them 620 miles towards japan. where they landed less than 200 miles off the coast. about 660 miles in the other direction, president obama was meeting world leaders at the g-20 summit in china, meaning the summit could have been within range. the rogue country has carried out ten such tests this year alone, and are in violation of

countless u.n. security council resolutions that ban all ballistic related experiments in the country. at a press conference today, the japanese prime minister responded. >> translator: it is an intolerable and reckless act of jeopardizing the peace and stability of the region, and is unforgivable. >> reporter: north korea's missile program has shown vast signs of improvement this year. two weeks ago, they successfully launched a second missile from a submarine, which flew over 300 miles. the longest s esest distance th achieved. despite all this, china, long said to be the only country with influence over the north, are still standing by the country. while urging a peaceful resolution. >> translator: china's position is clear, we hope all parties can avoid taking actions that may escalate tensions and can make joint efforts to maintain

peace and stability on the peninsula. >> reporter: the u.n. security council will discuss the latest violations tuesday morning. only then we will know what action, if any, they'll take. doug? >> benjamin hall in london tonight, thank you. twin bombings near the african defense ministry have killed at least 24 people in kabul. another 91 people were hurt. isis terrorists launched a series of suicide bombings and other attacks across syria today. and when it was over, at least 48 people were dead. the wave of attacks included six suicide bombings. isis targeted government-held areas and kurdish forces, too. this is a fox news alert. the latest on a manhunt going on right now in las vegas, nevada. the story began with an unusual escape. will carr is following this

story. >> reporter: authorities are trying to track down this murder suspect who they say is armed and dangerous tomorrow, and it comes as the north las vegas police department is facing tough questions how he got there to begin with. the suspect is alonzo perez, arrested friday morning and taken to a detective bureau for questioning. he was placed in an interview room with handcuffs and left alone. perez then twisted his handcuffs until they broke. we asked how that's possible and they wouldn't elaborate. perez then got out of the building without being seen and police say he stole a near-by f-250 and took off. >> we just had a truck jacked. they said oh, we just lost a suspect. and we thought, you lost a suspect? >> reporter: the police department telling us that when perez is back behind bars, they

plan to investigate how he was able to escape in the first place and what needs to be done to make sure this never happens again. >> this is not something that happens hardly ever. i mean, at least in the time that i've been here. i don't recall an incident like this happening. >> reporter: perez was arrested in the shooting death of muhammad robinson in las vegas. robinson's family says they're terrified that he could hurt somebody else and want him back in custody immediately. he will still face charges for that, as well as new charges for the escape and for stealing the truck. doug? >> will, keep us posted. thank you. coming up next, free trade. what does it mean for you? but first, here's what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 5 in new york city. with city beaches closed, the coastlines of new york city, new jersey, and long island were under a tropical storm warning for the remnants of hermine. visitors were allowed on the

beach, but told to stay out of the water. fox 25 in oklahoma city, with damage assessments from a magnitude 5.6 earthquake. officials are finding only minor to moderate damage. the transportation department says roads and bridges are all safe. utilities, pipelines, and fuel infrastructure are also said to be unharmed. a live look at los angeles from fox 11. the big story there tonight is a bankruptcy filing for one of the world's largest shipping companies. the south korean company represents nearly 8% of the transpacific trade volume for the u.s. ships are being refused permission to off load or take aboard containers. this could have a major impact on fall fashions and holiday shopping. we'll be right back.

president obama is defending his support of a pacific trade deal that is opposed by both of the people aiming to succeed him. rich edson looks at what free trade really means for american workers. >> reporter: free trade, one democrat continues selling it. >> nobody is able to describe to me how this would not be a significant improvement for u.s. workers and u.s. businesses going forward. >> reporter: another opposes that deal. >> i am not in favor of what i have learned about it. >> reporter: at issue, the pending 12-nation free trade agreement called the transpacific partnership. in 2012, hillary clinton called the net negotiated pact the gold standard in open, free, transparent fair trade.

she since joined the political wave in opposition. republican nominee donald trump is also against it. the north american free trade agreement took effect in 1994. the next decade, the u.s. normalized trade with china. in 2005, the u.s. had about 10 million manufacturing jobs. now, roughly 8.5 million. hourly earnings have barely risen. $19.40 in 1990. less than $21 today. factoring in inflation, that's a severe pay cut. free trade supporters blame factors beyond these agreements. >> if you look at the loss of manufacturing jobs in this country, which is substantial, 80% to 90% of that is because of the very rapid improvement in technology. >> reporter: free trade advocates say the u.s. benefits from these deals because they lower tariffs in competing

nations and reduce costs for american shoppers and manufacturers. and trump's economic adviser denied the republican nominee is fully rejecting free trade. >> i happen to think trade is good, but some of these deals need to be renegotiated to take into account the interest of the american workers. >> reporter: even if the u.s. can negotiate more favorable trade agreements or reject joining them, u.s. manufacturing workers still face the forces of globalization and continued advances in technology. doug? >> thank you, rich. labor day weekend marks the unofficial end of the travel season. airlines are dealing with enormous pressure to get their technological houses in order after a brutal summer. here is the story from philadelphia. >> it's hell. >> reporter: paul has found himself stranded at an airport, helpless, a nightmare.

we saw two examples of how bad this can get when delta and southwest nearly collapsed after outages paralyzed airline computers. in each case, nearly 1,000 flights grounded, passengers stuck in terminals. no answers. the delays lingered for days. in 2015, for the second time in 13 years, airlines themselves were to blame for more flight delays than weather and air traffic issues. more than 323,000 flights that should have taken off on time. >> it's time for the airlines to update their i.t. systems for the jet age. >> reporter: members of the commerce, science, and transportation committee sent a letter to 13 different airlines, including delta and southwest, suggesting changes and asking about plans to avoid these blunders in the future. >> airlines should use their record profits to invest in new technology and implement transparent and fair policies that protect and compensate the

customer. >> reporter: trade group airlines for america says those profits are being used, saying carriers are investing $1.5 billion per month in the products and technologies to make flying better. >> you've got to make sure that your productive system is robust. if you've got failures in the system, you've got other systems that can take over. joseph george works with airlines on technology. why is it that a computer meltdown can cause an entire operation to shut down, when really you just need planes and pilots to fly planes? >> technology is fundamentally the backbone of how businesses run their operation. it's the point that when the systems rely on those technologies, when those systems fail, the business cannot run anymore. >> reporter: passengers want changes now. >> they need a backup plan or something. >> reporter: the senate has given the airline until september 16 to respond, and based on feedback, we could see

legislation to ensure passengers aren't grounded by future meltdowns. rob schmidt, fox news. set up the rest of the fall campaign. tonight, we look at some of the key races that could determine what congress looks like in 2017. >> reporter: for democrats to retake control of the senate this november, they need five seats. it's a tall order but possible. some republican strategists think a candidate like donald trump at the top of the ticket isn't making things easier. they think candidates from arizona to florida and these 13 battleground states are nervous. >> on a stale of 1 to 10, they're at a 15. >> reporter: john mccain and marco rubio just won their primary battles. now they're facing stiff general election fights. democrats believe their best chance to flip a seat may be new hampshire or pennsylvania.

senator pat toomey of pennsylvania is proving for particularly vulnerable. and new hampshire, the popular republican income babkucumbent a serious threat. >> new hampshire and pennsylvania, those are two likely pickups. you have a strong woman at the top of the ticket with hillary clinton, also now katie mcginty. >> reporter: the odds of democrats taking control of the house are greater. they would need to pick up 30 seats this november. one possibility is the seat held by carlos cavala. he's an outspoken critic of donald trump, but still he's facing what many republicans are now dubbing the trump effect. a down ballot display of disdain for the republican at the top of the ticket. and so is will herd in texas, seeking re-election from a constituency that is nearly 70%

hispanic. >> donald trump's position on immigration and illegal immigration both are very damaging and very difficult for republicans to navigate if they represent minority heavy districts. >> reporter: in the end, it may come down to turnout and whether or not trump and clinton, two candidates with record high unfavorability ratings will be able to get members to the poll. >> thank you, kristen. let's look at one of the most competitive and costly senate races in pennsylvania. it is a key in the battle for control of the senate. the latest real clear politics average has katie mcginty in a tie with republican incumbent pat toomey. we get more on that race from rick leventhal. >> everything is at stake, the white house, supreme court, control of the senate and maybe even the house. >> reporter: congressman toomey battling to keep his feet

against challenger katie mcginty. >> will you help me send pat toomey packing? >> reporter: once an aide to bill clinton is backing hillary clinton in the run to washington. but toomey has refused to endorse donald trump. >> there are things donald trump has said and done that give me great pause, and i have significant concerns about. so i remain in a mode of waiting to be persuaded. >> reporter: both flooding the airwaves with ads in what is now the most expensive senate race in america according to the center of responsive politics, with $59 million spent and two months left until election day. >> katie mcginty, for banning assault weapons. >> reporter: toomey put his nra endorsement at risk with two key votes on the senate floor. >> toomey crossed party lines twice. >> reporter: he has backing from gun control activists, including michael bloomberg who paid for this ad.

>> all of these dark money special interests that pat toomey has spent a lot of time going to bat for as a congressman, as a senator, as a wall street insider, as a washington insider, and boy, are they pouring money in here. >> my opponent will be a rubber stamp for hillary clinton or a complete obstacle to a president trump, and she would want to continue all these failed policies that's not food for pennsylvania. >> reporter: observers say presidential politics are influencing the presidential contest. >> if he's made it this far without endorsing mr. trump, i think he can make it all the way to election day. >> reporter: trump's rebound in national polls could help here in pennsylvania for toomey, but he has a disadvantage with registered voters. around turnout will likely be higher because this is a presidential election year. in philadelphia, rick leventhal, fox news.

mother ship, which launched the lander. r r the labor day is the traditional start of the fall campaign season. we're going to check on the presidential candidates when the panel joins me after a quick break. have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine

that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. safety doesn't come in a box. it's not a banner that goes on a wall. it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators to better prepare for any situation. it's giving offshore teams onshore support. and it's empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesn't seem right. at bp, safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better.

nature's bounty it's not just a car... it's your daily retreat. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. heythere's a more enjoyabley! way to get your fiber. try these delicious phillips' fiber good gummies, a good source of fiber to help support regularity. mmmm. these are great. my work here is done. phillips'. the tasty side of fiber. i went into the state department understanding classification. i've been on the senate armed services committee for years before becoming secretary of state. i take classification seriously. the fact that i couldn't remember certain meetings, whether or not they had occurred, doesn't in any way

affect the commitment that i had and still have to the treatment of classified material. >> that was just a couple of hours ago. it had been 275 days since hillary clinton held a personal press conference. that changed with the arrival of her new campaign plane. the reporters who sl been followed her for the better of two years now have joined her on the plane. she came back to the rear section of the fuselage to engage in a little to and fro and answered some questions, one of which was about classification, as you just heard. she said she was intimately familiar with the whole process, having been a member of the senate armed services committee. let's bring in our panel. tucker carlson, charles lane, and charles krauthammer. that answer raises a lot of interesting questions, charles. >> well, i mean, she doesn't

have a good answer. there's no way you can be secretary of state, and as she said, served years on the armed services committee and not know what a "c" means. so she simply repeats it and she goes on to the next question. i guess this now qualifies as having held a press conference. i don't see how it makes any difference one way or the other about how available she is or whether or not she's answering. so she's had one. i think it helped to do it on a plane, so we can't hear the question very well. all we hear is her answer. i think it suits her. nothing has changed. >> chuck, we knew from this fbi release on friday that there were -- that that letter "c" was on many of the e-mails she received or sent. here she is admitting she knew what it was. raises further doubts. >> i agree with charles to the extent that that's no brilliant

one-liner she can come up with to make this go away. it is what it is from her point of view at this point. but i guess what i took away from this is how once again how lucky she is to be running against the person she is running against. let's assume that hillary clinton went through the armed services committee and secretary of state and didn't know what a "c" meant in the margin of an e-mail. does anybody believe donald trump knows what it means? that's the choice voters are posed with here. it's not just a referendum on hillary clinton in the abstract, up or down, and she's quite unpopular. let's face it. but it's the alternative, donald trump. and that's why i think ultimately even though this is sort of a constant irritant, it hasn't brought her down because of the guy she's running against. >> tucker? >> it has brought her down, and i didn't think it would. that this baked in the cake.

you're voting for her if you don't want trump. look at the numbers. they're unbelievable. i think that's what precipitated this press event, whatever it was, on the plane. it was smart, good for her. but boy, the trend lines are in the wrong direction for hillary clinton, not just nationally, and i agree, those are not predictive, but in ohio, michigan, wisconsin, florida, if those trends keep up, it's bad for her. the only thing that you can attribute her downward slide to is this spate of stories about her e-mail. i didn't think it would hurt her and it did. >> i think this is normal. it's a post convention bump that was very strong, kind of settling back to normal. she's still up five in the national polls. >> it's clearly a settling back. it's clearly a retreat. she's clearly going down in the polls. and it's not that people have doubts that she's going to understand what's in the memo she gets.

the issue is that she tells fibs, big ones, and ones that are undeniable, of which there is no escape. so it has to do again and again with honesty. even more important is that the fact that nothing can escape, it's like a black hole, nothing can escape the bubble of the e-mails and the honesty issue. can you cite one policy issue on which people have even noted? it's all overwhelmed and smothered by the news on the e-mail. that's her problem. she can't escape the e-mails, and it's hard to see exactly what springs her out of the black hole. >> i was going to say, you talk to lots of democrats privately. their frustration is that against this opponent, she should be up not just 5 but up 15. obviously she's way down by this. i still think the space is large enough to carry her through. >> another thing she addressed and was asked about was russia's

increasing propensity to aggressively cyber attack into our electoral system, not only at the dnc e-mail system but apparently into our electoral system. here's what she had to say about that. >> the fact that our intelligence services are now viewing russian activity as a potential threat with our electoral system raises further questions about trump and i think those are questions the american people should be asking and answering. >> she's alluding to the fact that trump at one point said he liked the idea that russia was intruding into the e-mail system, but not for the purpose she's alluding to there, charles. >> it was kind of an off handed and bizarre comment. you don't want to be telling the leader of an adversary, our leading adversary in the world right now, that it should be intruding into our system, reading our e-mails, breaking

in, as she said, as watergate did and releasing them to the world. i think the fact that trump has spoken kindly, not just to putin but to the pumpers of tiananmen square, saddam hussein is a great hero in the fight against terrorism, all this is rather odd and disturbing. so it's a good tact for her to take. but let's see it if can escape the e-mail scandal. >> trump's comments were based on he wanted the russians to find out what hillary was up to. >> her ancestors on the left must be rolling over in her grave to see her red baiting. how many people outside of washington say in 20 years, our greatest adversary will be russia and not china? i don't think it's a sellable product, the idea that trump is controlled by putin and you ought to be really afraid.

he's no more controlled by putin than she is by china. what's the biggest threat? >> it's not red baiting if russia is not communist, and it's not communist. it's a different kind of dictatorship. >> it was a tongue and cheek element. just be afraid of russia. >> i think there are more people that are. >> you don't think russia has bad intent? they have the desire to diminish and injure the united states. it connects the actions in ukraine and the balkans. it connects the actions in syria. it connects everything it does. and it is succeeding. it is the biggest threat right now. the china emerges as a larger one in 20 years, i think we worry about that about ten years down the road. right now, it is russia. >> there are many people who wish us harm. the missing element is economic power. north korea would like to

eliminate us, and russia is a poor country. putin is evil, i'm not depending him -- >> the north korean submarine within 300 miles of los angeles can launch a nuclear missile, in time, whether it's rich or poor. that doesn't have any effect on the threat. so i don't see why we have to constrain ourselves to worrying about being overshadowed economically. there are a lot of other ways to overshadow and harm us. >> on that note, next up, a rough weekend for president obama's foreign policy.

test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test

we're moving into a new era here where a number of countries have significant

capacities and being frankly, we have more capacity more than everybody both offensively and defensively. but our goal is not to suddenly in the cyber arena duplicate a cycle of escalation that we saw when it comes to, you know, other arms races in the past but, rather, to start instituting some norms so that everybody is acting responsibly. >> well, following revelations that russia is involved in. there there is no surprise this handshake between president obama and president obama look at little bit on the steely side. if looks could kill. that's only one aspect of the deteriorating aspect between our two countries and the larger picture, some problems with the g-20 summit. we're back with the panel now there are a lot of indignities in this trip to asia. one of which which when air

force one pulled up to the airport and chinese city whose name escapes me right now they didn't have the mobile staircase for the president. i couldn't believe that. he had to open the belly stairwell and come out that way. what college students would call microaggression. >> this is a macroaggression. the chinese are the most adept people at diplomacy and ritual and protocol of any on the planet. they have been doing it for 3,000 years to. explain this as an accident is ridiculous it shows their utter contempt for the united states. and for this president. and when you heard what he said about cyber wars. you really want to weep. he has been if office years and he essentially says look, we have the advantage in cyber technology. but we don't want to press it in any way. we want the other guys to live by these norms. the idea that russia and china live by norms, that

somehow obama is going to educate them into these norms. russia is helping to commit genocide in syria and you expect that it's going to acquire etiquette on cyber? it is simply -- it's astonishing that we could have a president who believes this and explains why after eight years the great powers of the world starting with china and russia know that they are dealing with an adversary, the united states, its president who is simply one who does not earn any of their respect. >> chuck, there was another indignity, pretty gross real lion the scale of international diplomacy when the president of the philippines called president obama and others as inappropriate dinner time conversation called them the son of a wore for threatening, i should say, intervene in their human rights record to observe some frailties in that. >> that is a puzzling one. the new president of the philippines to cut a long story short has an extraordinary policy of essentially extra judicial

killings of suspected drug dealers in this country. i don't think the president can stand by ally who we fund to conduct itself on that way. on the other hand, we do need the philippines and we do van appliance with them. and this guy decided to just push back on our president on that basis. i would say what struck me about that though is that there are a lot of other dictators in asia that the president is willing to kind of do business with they are a little less flamboyant. visited louis which is not a free country. he has been to vietnam so on and so forth. i think that's part of the sort of big dilemma of u.s. policy in asia is that a lot of our friends are not particularly exemplary democrats either. and that case with the guy from the political philippines just exemplified

that. >> another indignity ukraine landed missiles. >> the philippines over the last 7 owe years has been consistent u.s. allies. surveys of u.s. population they like us more than anybody else. since we liberated manila. the obama policy hassling over drug dealers. they behead people for adultery and having a martini. threat's put perspective here. this is part of the long-term row flex of this president to stick it in the eye of our friends and cow kowtow to our enemies there no reason especially what is really at stake here is alignment. the philippines could align to some extent with china. you don't want that. that would be a total disaster. a generational disaster. over executing drug dealers, really? >> a little bit bigger keel than that. unleashed thugs. >> is he a bad guy. >> written a -- lots of bad

things happened. it is a terrible thing i'm appalled. >> what's in our interest? that's the question. >> a harder question than you are making it seem. >> tee totally adultery. >> raises the question in advance of the presidential election whether we can expect more aggressive maneuvers by our adversaries in the waning months. >> the waning months are drug month. isn't often that putin and chinese leadership and draw as add investor sea as weak as obama who obviously does not want to stir the pot anywhere. he doesn't want to lift a finger syria, iraq, elsewhere. is he struggling to hold the europeans to the minimum of sanctions o on ukraine. if you see how obama flinched time after time, as with the land grab, the illegal creation of islands and airfields by the chinese in the south china sea, why

wouldn't you push ahead with it right now? hire is your golden opportunity. >> that's it for the panel tonight. stay tuned for one little guy who just needed a little bit of help. donald trump audio only: "i would bomb the sh_t out of them." vo: just one.
